♪ Can you add my words to a song that is already famous or written by someone else?

No. This is copyright infringement. But, we can compose a song for you in the same style of the song you like, and it will be your original song.

♪ Can I give the song as a gift?

Yes. You certainly can! This option is a unique gift for that special music lover in your life! We have two great options for this, our Songmaker Boxes or our Gift Cards.

♪ Do I need to provide you with example popular songs?

No. You are not required to, however if you have an idea of genre, tempo, or vocals that you would like us to aim for a similar style, this is the best way to do so. We encourage you to provide us with example popular songs on your order form.

♪ I do not see the type of genre I am looking for, do you do other genres?

Yes. We are here to make your song the way you desire. Simply include in the details of your order form the specialized genre you would like.

♪ Can I have a band play the song live?

♪ Can I sing on the song myself?

Yes. You certainly can! We have an instrumental version, which includes the music (no lyrics) of your song. When you choose this option, we will email you two copies of the song-- one with our vocalist singing your words and one without vocals – just the music. Click here for instrumental version.

♪ Can I change the song if I do not like it?

Yes. You will receive a 45-second song clip (via email) 10 days after you submit your order of how your song sounds so far. You will get to listen to it for 48 hours and email us with your feedback. At that time, let us know how you like it or if you would like us to make a change. Depending on that, we will move forward with the production, or change it according to your feedback.

♪ What if I do not like the song when it is finished?

We have never had a person who was not extremely happy with their song. The 10-day song clip is the way we keep situations like this from occurring and works well. The reason is that we send you a song clip for you to preview so you can provide your personal feedback before we send you the finished production. But, if for whatever reason you are not happy with it when it is done, we can talk about it. Please keep in mind that there may be an additional charge if you are requesting major changes to the final song.

♪ What if I want a vocal change?

After we receive your order form including your example song/s and desired vocals, we choose an artist that is close to the sound of the music you desire. If you do not like the vocalist we pick, we can acquire another one for you, however there will be fee associated with this change so we can pay them for the studio time. We strongly encourage you in the order process to tell us what type of vocalist you are looking for in your song.

♪ What if I want a tempo change?

After we receive your order form including the tempo you desire as well as your example song/s, we choose a composing team that will match the tempo you request. If you do not like the tempo (beat) of your song or are not feeling the "vibe" and just want a flat out redo, there is a charge to make this change. We strongly encourage you to indicate the type of tempo (beat) you would like for your song to avoid this scenario.

♪ Who owns the song when it is complete?

At YourSongmaker, we believe that everyone involved in the artistic piece should share the ownership rights. Each of us have a direct impact on how the song turns out. There is a three way split and that split is 40% to the lyricist (you), 40% to the composer, and 20% to YourSongmaker. Songmaker Productions aka YourSongmaker will copyright your song when it’s complete naming each of us as partial owners and the above percentages

♪ Can I work the composing team or musician directly?

No. Well, you could and some other sites will try to pair you with a musician to work with you. Musicians however, are very busy people. A lot of times they’re on the road, in the studio, creating projects (several), playing in bands at night, playing in open mic nights, etc. making it difficult to get in touch with them. Unfortunately, sometimes that happens right in the middle of your project. Here at YourSongmaker, our composers are passionate about what they do and work directly with our executive producer, David. We take all of the burden off of you to get it done – the way you want it in two weeks.

♪ Can I put the song up for sale on social media?

Yes. We encourage sales of your song. Featured songs are always available for purchase through our website and we can provide you with a direct link when listing for sale. If your song did not make the featured songs list, we can still provide you with a link for sales of your song. Please see the Terms of Use for details if you intend to sell your song on your own.

♪ Who is responsible for the copyright of my song?

Songmaker Productions, LLC aka YourSongmaker will be responsible for obtaining the copyright of your song at completion. If you are interested in obtaining a copyright certificate, you may order one at the time of the song purchase or after the song is complete.
